One hundred and twenty-nine, the past
Mother Jia is naturally worried about a lot of things, but she doesn't care about housework over the years, so the family's income and the use of silver, these naturally don't need to be mentioned, but whether there is any interest in this reserve is still the most important, "Our family has been rich for so many years, and we have seen a lot of ups and downs, counting it, there are not many people who can have such a career in a hundred years," although Jia's mother said lightly, there was always pride in her words, "To be able to inherit the family business, that is enough, people like us, Don't go out and get in the picture, that's too hard, and to be honest, we don't have that kind of talent. ”
Mrs. Wang heard Mother Jia talk about these things, and hurriedly got up and lowered her hand to listen respectfully, "The eldest master's room, just a Lian'er, not a lot of interest, the glory of Rongguo Mansion, now it seems that only Baoyu can support this family." ”
Mrs. Wang was very excited, she didn't think that Mother Jia would value Baoyu so much, and secondly, she was also very nervous, "Baoyu looks good on the outside, but the inside is still a little empty, what the old lady said is very true, I don't want him to be motivated, but he is too young." ”
"It's a little smaller, and his body is not good, I feel the most sorry for him, I don't know where I am? Su Ri didn't allow him to scare him, I taught my two sons to come out, don't you know the teaching? It's just that I really know that Baoyu is afraid of being scared, so he is still biased, but although this person is small, he can't help but experience in the end, and now there is a ready-made person from his Xue family's cousin here, so that Baoyu can follow him to learn some principles of how to behave in the world, and he doesn't expect him to be able to enter the Xian'an Palace to study. Mother Jia turned the string of golden silk nanmu Buddha beads in her hand, and said indifferently, "I can't be in a hurry, but I can't help but prepare, I gave Qingwen to the Xue family's brother, and I also wanted to get closer to the relationship. ”
Mrs. Wang originally thought that Baoyu had begged her several times to let Qingwen go to his room to do needlework, but she was worried that Baoyu would do something inappropriate because of Qingwen's pretty face, but now it was okay to give Xue Pan like this, and she was afraid that Baoyu would be obsessed with nonsense, "The old lady takes a fancy to Baoyu's cousin, it is his blessing, and if she doesn't say anything else, if the old lady comes forward and says a few words to the holy queen, it will be enough to repay Pan'er." ”
It seems that Jia Mu and the Holy Queen still have a relationship? Jia Mu shook her head, "I'm afraid I don't have to worry about it, the Xue family's brother is very powerful, and he can be like a fish in water in the palace, where is the Holy Queen...... Who knows? Now our family is not bad, I don't know how to do it in the future, leave more affection in everything, and be more kind to relatives, don't make trouble, it's always better to take one more way. ”
The two of them gossiped for a while, and Jia Mu asked Mrs. Wang again: "What news is there from the eldest girl?" ”
"It's all ordinary words, and I didn't say anything when I gave a Boxing salute."
Jia Mu sighed slightly, "I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse to send her into the palace like this in the past?" Now it's just a small permanent presence, and now the family is stable, and there is no need for her to invite the holy favor to stabilize the position of the head of the family, but her own blessings can only be seen in these positions now, and the women in the harem, aren't they just looking at these positions. ”
Mother Jia's expression was a little gloomy, and Mrs. Wang was sad in her heart, but she also had to persuade, "In the past, this was also impossible, who told the prince and the eldest master of the Eastern Mansion to do the wrong thing, if it wasn't for the eldest girl to be sent into the palace, I was afraid that this catastrophe was coming, or the old lady gave up her old face to do this, no one dared to say anything bad, and said that it was wise to deal with it." ”
"The head of our four families, the Xue family used to be in Jinling, Baoyu and his uncle, they are very obedient, they have never asked about the affairs of the court, but it is okay, the rest of the families, but our family chose the wrong place and found the wrong person, so there is such a big disaster," Jia Mu suddenly remembered something, "The eldest master is ready to make friends with people outside?" ”
Mrs. Wang didn't dare not answer, Jia Mu snorted coldly, "I'm going to look for someone again, I'm a lot older, and it's not easy to be an official, if I just drink with my little wife at home, it's just like this, and I'm ready to mess around like this!" ”
Jia's mother can say that Jia pardon is not, and this brother's daughter-in-law's Mrs. Wang is not suitable to say, so she just listened, "Don't offend talents, our family has finally stabilized, and the rest are afraid that they don't need to say more, now look at the children and grandchildren below, the Xue family's brother is quite promising," Jia's mother said, "Several errands are done properly, and they have always acted safely, this young man is very difficult, and the blessings in the future are only afraid to be above Yu'er and them." ”
Mother Jia instructed Mrs. Wang, "You tell Brother Feng to pay more attention, the affairs of Lixiangyuan will be handled as my business, and the rest don't need to be flattered, in the end, they are relatives, and our family's family is also higher, so it's not good to lose face and be laughed at." ”
Mrs. Wang agreed, and she was naturally happy that the relatives of her mother's family were valued by the people with the highest status in the four major families, "As for the eldest girl...... That's it," Jia Mu sighed, "If a eunuch who is waiting for her comes out and calls me to talk, we can't help anything else, so we have to help with more of these coins." ”
"Yes," Mrs. Wang agreed, "I heard that these days, Long Live Lord likes to get along with the queen mother, and occasionally comes to the harem to go to the queen mother, such as Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin, who were favored in the past, and Long Live Lord rarely goes." ”
"Even if it's at home, I should say less about these things," Jia Mu half-closed her eyes, "The wall has ears, and it's not good to talk about the palace after all." Since you said it today, I will also tell you, the emperor may not like the queen's mother, but because of the queen's identity, the queen is the niece of the holy queen, many things, the emperor is embarrassed to tell the holy queen, if you talk about it through the queen, it is better. Long live the government, but this dynasty to rule the world with filial piety, important things still have to ask the holy queen, now the ministry level of the second grade or above, you have to ask the meaning of the holy queen. It's okay for the master to be a petty official," Jia's mother was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know that one of her two sons was drinking flower wine at home, and the other was a small official outside in front of a sesame seed, whether this was a blessing or misfortune for the family, "At least there are fewer disputes at this time." ”
"But some people have come to inquire about the old lady," said Mrs. Wang, "and the people outside still take a fancy to the old lady's errand in the Shenji Camp. ”
